Eros and Civilization
Book • 1953
In this book, Herbert Marcuse integrates Freud's psychoanalytic theories with Marx's concepts of alienation and oppression to argue that modern capitalism prevents individuals from achieving true freedom.
Marcuse examines the dialectical conflict between the 'life instinct' (Eros) and the 'death instinct' (Thanatos), and he proposes the idea of a 'non-repressive civilization' where the pleasure principle and the reality principle are reconciled.
The book is a critical analysis of Western civilization, challenging the widespread repression of instincts and imagining a utopian society that emphasizes liberation and play.
